Inshallah:

Inshallah (Arabicإِنْ شَاءَ ٱللَّٰهُ‎, ʾin šāʾa -llāh), also spelled InshAllah or In sha Allah, is an Arabic language expression meaning “if God wills” or “God willing”. The term is mentioned in the Quran[Quran37:102] and is used to fulfill a Quranic command of speaking on future events.[Quran18:24] The phrase is commonly used by MuslimsArab Christians, and Arabic-speakers of other religions to refer to events that one hopes will happen in the future. It expresses the belief that nothing happens unless God wills it and that his will supersedes all human will.

The phrase can take on an ironic context, implying that something will never happen or can be used as a gentle way of declining invitations. [Wikipedia]

Noted in “The Psychedelic Election,” Andrew Sullivan, The Weekly Dish, responding to a reader’s LOC:

We know that the Tea Party came about largely in reaction to Obama and lost much of its raison d’etat after Trump’s election. Wokeness could be a similar political phenomenon. For that reason alone, I think it is too early to say that wokeness is winning. If Trump is defeated next month, many who now support wokeness —particularly those outside of academia — will revert to MLK-style liberalism.

Inshallah!
